Mark is the Executive Director and Editor of its award-winning quarterly health journal, Health Science.   In June 2017, Mark retired from his Magistrate position to devote the lion share of his energies to the NHA.  In partnership with is wife, Wanda, they have organized annual health conferences which have featured the leading voices of the whole-food, plant-based health movement, including Drs. Joel Fuhrman, Alan Goldhamer, Stephan Esser, Frank Sabatino, Neal Barnard and more.    Mark loves sports, the theater, hiking, traveling and in the Summer time, his organic garden.

Fear of failure keeps people in the status quo, doing what everyone else is doing. But when you're not scared of dying, you can't be scared of anything else.The cruelty and exploitation of animals is the greatest atrocity in the history of human civilization.Spirituality is the foundation of activism.Courage always comes in small steps and it builds over time as you take more steps. Courage is a community attribute, not an individual one. "Find your voice, find some friends, and fight like hell."The animal rights movement requires finding core stories and reflecting collectively on why they matter.Story-based leadership is about using story of self, story of us, and story of now to create a strong movement.There's something powerful about one's willingness to suffer for a cause. There is immense spiritual growth that comes from suffering.Purpose is something a lot of people are lacking but it makes life worth living.ALL SENTIENT BEINGS FEEL PAIN AND YEARN FOR FAMILIES.Wayne is not a law breaker, he's a law maker.THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE WRONG. The Constitution should include non-human animals, because they deserve life and liberty.All MEN are created equal really means that all humanity are created equal.Vivisection means cutting of the living body.ANIMALS ARE THE MOST POWERLESS BEINGS IN OUR SOCIETY. They're invisible to the legal system.We still live in a society that's ruled by the powerful. The less power you have, the more likely you'll be abused.Learn more. The closer you get to suffering, the more accurately you'll see the world, then you can work to change it.Activism is about empowering people who are already supportive.Empathy is the core of the animal rights movement.MARSHALL BIORESOURCES MARCH TO ABOLISH ANIMAL TESTINGWayne's favorite foods: pb sandwich, pasta, rice, cookies, seitan**The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for general informational purposes only.

Factory Farms are the most destructive force on the planet.Going vegan is a choice stemming from going down a path of compassion. Check out the episode with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.Compassion in World Farming is one of the largest farm animal protection organizations. They also help with food system reform and change.Our food system is broken. It is financially and nutritionally inefficient with so much of the world's seeds and grains going to feed animals instead of people.Cage-free eggs are NOT HUMANE. They cost double or triple conventional eggs when the added cost per egg is only 1-5 cents.The SAVE OUR BACON ACT would be a law stuck in the farm bill that would nullify all state laws prohibiting crates. Why oppose the SOBA: it nullifies all animal protection laws, it's bad for smaller farmers who actually believe animals should have space to move, and it takes away states' rights and overturns voter-approved laws.How you can help stop SOBA: call your US Senator at 202-224-3121, and tell the person on the phone that you oppose SOBA and do not want it included in the farm bill.The SOBA is about protecting mother pigs, but it's also chickens and veal calves that are subjected to the worst confinement on Earth.The first law to ban gestation crates was a ballot measure in the red state of Florida, where they put it in the state's constitution. The SOBA is not about banning pork -- it is simply about allowing mother pigs to stand up, turn around, and extend limbs.To what length would you go to get your pet out of suffering? If you help SOBA and the fight to end factory farming, you will change the course of history for billions!We are in a collective fight around compassion; it takes all of us everyday doing simple acts of kindness.Matt's favorite foods: anything from Chef Chloe in NYC! and nutritional yeast.**The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for general informational purposes only.

We come into this world compassionate. Violence is taught.We buy organic and free-range because we believe we're good people, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO BE TOO INCONVENIENCED.It's not HOW we keep animals, IT'S THAT WE BRING THEM INTO THIS WORLD ONLY TO KILL THEM. It's a system of violence that's unchecked. Check out Gail Eisnitz's book Slaughterhouse.It's painful to become awake but the price we pay for not being awake is hardening our hearts and our awareness of truth.WHAT IS COMPASSION? It's connection and awareness that whatever I do impacts someone else.The point is not to be vegan. It's to be compassionate, and veganism is the way to get there.It's easy to say we're compassionate, but where is that manifesting in daily behavior.Change only happens when we're willing to stretch comfort zones.Many people are happy and busy and feel like they can't fit anything else in, but MANY PEOPLE ALSO FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS MISSING.Evolution is the thing because the alternative is to stay stagnant. Change happens when we inspire each other as humans.If you think vegan will be hard, that's what it'll be.The foundation of most cultures' cuisines IS PLANTS.The first step to being a joyful vegan is to orient that way.Being vegan is about saying NO to cruelty, unhealthiness, violence, habitat devastation, and slaughter, and saying YES to flavor, abundance, joy, health, wellness, and compassion.Perception shift: animal products do not have to be the center of the plate. Replace the animal with plant protein and have lots of side dishes.If you have an option to be compassionate, take it.No matter where you live, there's always something you can do to support native pollinators and wildlife.Wherever you can, START.Colleen's favorite foods: tofu, carrots, peanut butter, popcorn, blueberries, and chickpeas. **The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for generalinformational purposes only.

Www.instagram.com/clarissa_gannon Www.facebook.com/clarissa.gannon Www.Herwellnessonline.com The Juicy Bits: Being fit is great, but it's really about being healthy.We accept mediocrity as normal, even great, but having stomach aches, digestive problems, constipation, bloating, poor skin, and little sleep is not healthy.Bodybuilding is not the best habit for bodies. It's too extreme.For a woman vegan to build muscle, it takes eating enough food, getting good, regenerative sleep, and functional medicine pieces like gut health, hormonal balance, and reduced stress.Try: tracking food, mindfulness practices, setting boundaries, using a calendar, and self-care activities.CARBS FUEL HIGH PERFORMANCE ATHLETES. Carbs are good. PROTEIN IS FOR REPAIR..8g protein per kg of body weight is standard for muscle maintenance. Add more fitness goals and aging women.Supplements are meant TO SUPPLEMENT the diet.Women should not try to live off 1200-1300 calories per day.

Eisnitz, winner of the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Medal for outstanding achievement in animal welfare, has been working for decades to document and expose the shocking underbelly of the U.S. meat industry. She is chief investigator for the Humane Farming Association and author of the new memoir, Out of Sight: An Undercover Investigator’s Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Eisnitz and her first book, Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment inside the U.S. Meat Industry, were the driving force behind a front-page exposé in the Washington Post that resulted in an annual multimillion dollar Congressional appropriation for enforcement of the Humane Slaughter Act—the first funding ever allocated for a law that had been on the books for more than 40 years.  Eisnitz’s work has resulted in exposés by ABC’s Good Morning America, ABC’s PrimeTime Live, and Dateline NBC, has been featured in such newspapers as the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, Texas Monthly, Denver Business Journal, Los Angeles Times, and U.S. News & World Report, and her interviews have been heard on more than 1600 radio stations. In her new memoir, Eisnitz takes readers on a journey of self-discovery as she successfully fights to document and expose scandalous animal abuse, all in the face of a rare visual processing disorder that she has grappled with since childhood. The disease, which was only identified in the scientific literature a mere 10 years ago—was diagnosed three years ago, after she began writing her memoir—and is revealed at the book’s climax. Eisnitz has been vegan for two decades. The Juicy Bits: When you find out what's going on with animals in the food system, you have no choice but to GO VEGAN. People are sensitive and can change. They're just usually unaware.People are unaware of what's going on in the system and don't even know the basics of animal behavior. COWS DO NOT NATURALLY PRODUCE MILK. Like humans, they lactate only after pregnancy and childbirth. And the only reason their milk is sold in stores is because their babies are stolen from them.Killing something that did not want to die is not humane.The Humane Farming Association conducts anti-cruelty investigations, helps with legislative campaigns and litigation, and saves animals.The Holocaust taught us what humans are capable of doing, and we're doing it now TO ANIMALS.55 years ago, 10 BILLION animals in the world were slaughtered each year. Now, that same number is slaughtered in the US alone. Increased line speeds and gestation crates make this possible.The American Veterinary Medical Association is in bed with the meat industry and supports the atrocities.Gail's favorite foods include vegan chili with peanuts and pineapple, and hummus with chips.Links: Humane Farming Association (HFA) website: https://hfa.org https://gaileisnitz.comhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576167325070https://www.instagram.com/gaileisnitz/https://www.linkedin.com/in/gail-eisnitz-20a9889b/**The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for general informational purposes only.

Her work has been featured by media outlets around the world, including the BBC, ABC Australia, NPR, and The New York Times. She is also the founding president of the nonprofit organization Beyond Carnism. You can learn more about her work at carnism.org. The Juicy Bits: What is CARNISM? The invisible belief system that conditions people to eat certain animals and not others. It's the opposite of veganism. Everyone has a belief system and most people make a choice to eat animals.Carnism is a global system whereby each culture has their own list of animals that they'll eat and not eat, and each culture finds other cultures offensive and wrong.Carnism is a dominant belief system, so common that it is woven into the fabric of society, shaping norms, laws, and behaviors.Carnism creates psychological defense mechanism that disconnect people from the reality of what they're doing -- supporting an industry that needlessly slaughters animals. The 3 Ns of justification are that eating meat is NORMAL, NATURAL, and NECESSARY.Carnism conditions people to feel defensive against anyone that challenges their right to eat animals.The quickest way to reduce the worldwide animal suffering is to ask people to be as vegan as possible.There is a high rate of burnout amongst vegan activists due to the overwhelming sense of responsibility they feel to reduce animal cruelty. YOU HAVE PERMISSION NOT TO ADVOCATE. REST.The most important thing any of us can do is commit to our own self-regulation.A vegan ally is a supporter of vegans and someone who is as vegan as possible.Watch Melanie's "What to Say to Vegans" video HERE.Vegans are shamed and made to feel like they are "picky" and "overly sensitive."

The many layers of her journey have allowed her to experience everything from development of interpersonal connections at farmers markets, owning and operating a restaurant/bakery, custom cake creations, to podcasting about what is on our plates beyond food, and really peeling back the layers in life so we can shift our portions to not only nourish our bodies, but our hearts, minds, and souls as well. What’s On Your Plate podcast is a space to connect on all things that make our plates in life heavy & abundant and seeks out transformative, inspiring and healing conversations. Her take on things is that if you want to become a better version of yourself, you have to be willing to change what isn’t working, find purpose in your pain, be willing to change your mind, & get out of your own way! Sarah's instagram Sarah's marketing website The Juicy Bits: There are many digestive benefits to eating plant-based: less bloating and bathroom emergencies, which are great if you are an endurance runner.You have to have more than one WHY to continue living a vegan lifestyle long-term.People are afraid of what they don't know or they're afraid they'll be lacking something.All of life is learning and if you're not evolving in some way then what is the point?Transformation happens in little steps, so be open to the journey taking you to the next right thing.There should not be food scarcity in our world with the amount of food we produce. The problem is we produce so much to feed animals that eventually end up on some people's plates. So if we just cut out the unfortunate animal middlemen, more people would have food to eat.Consciousness happens when you start understanding that your choices affect more than you.ANIMALS ARE ALL SENTIENT BEINGS. Just because people have always eaten animals doesn't make it right.Let's rebel against big business and governments that are telling us to do things that keep us in the machine of feeling bad and needing meds.All of life is learning and it's best learned when in nature, outside, and off screens.We're meant to be in community... even extroverts.Don't be afraid to get in the kitchen. Anything can be made from scratch.Sarah's favorite foods include tofu, fresh produce for juicing, and dark chocolate, like THIS ONE. **The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for generalinformational purposes only.

GREGER HERE The Juicy Bits: Early lifestyle physician Nathan Pritikin was the first to say that you can reverse heart disease.In 1990, Dr. Dear Ornish was the first to show on imaging heart disease reversal.The definition of good health is the absence of disease and disability, but with vitality and good mental health, and without misery and pain.We are such a sick society that people don't know how good they can feel. People associate normal with being unhealthy.Moses Maimonides: "No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means." Diet is the safe, simple, side effect-free solution you can add to any treatment plan. 106,000 Americans diet from medications every year!

You’ll usually find him in the gym, out on a run, playing golf, or traveling to places where adventure is a given. He’s always been drawn to experiences that create space to think, reset, and reconnect. His interest in veganism is rooted in a broader curiosity about how we live, consume, and coexist.

At the core of it all, Josh is interested in alignment, between what we believe, how we live, and the impact we have.https://leapforanimals.org https://blackberrycreek.org The Juicy Bits: We don't know where food comes from and we don't know how our choices impact the planet.Question things that don't make sense."The fact that I exist causes harm." Become conscious and do the least harm possible. The majority of soy grown feeds animals. If we sourced the soy directly to feed humans, we'd reduce harm to animals, preserve wildlife, help conservation efforts, and solve the global hunger crisis. It's good to be mindful of how we live and not just blindly follow traditions and culture.Get involved with existing animal sanctuaries.There is a mental health epidemic affecting adults and children. Being outside, connecting with nature, and unplugging from tech is critical.

Food is fuel. The essence of traditional foods is to bring us together in community, so just because it's plant-based doesn't mean we lose the love and connection. We get to save lives!Favorite foods: vegan donuts and baked goods (seek out local options), oatmeal or muesli with powdered peanut butter, vegan bowls, Uncle Eddie's cookies, Hodo tofu, Ben & Jerry's nondairy ice cream **The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for general informational purposes only.

They die of the same diseases as their patients.GLP-1 meds are there to counteract maladaptive habits at great expense... horrible side effects and increased premiums for everyone else, including medicare tax.In 1909, the average American at 3.8 pounds of cheese per year. Today, it's 40 pounds per person per year, propelling the obesity epidemic.We hand down bad habits generationally.Biggest killers are heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer's, and nutrition plays a role in all of them. Just because family members have these diseases doesn't mean you will. Eat plants.Cruelty is intrinsic to ALL LIVESTOCK OPERATIONS EVERYWHERE, regardless of which animal it is.
